    Bellew is a good fighter and I agree is underrated. But in terms of boxing he is not on Ward's level and will not be able to swarm him with power shots as Ward will smother his work and slowly grind him down.

    If people were praising Ward for simply moving up then there would be no issue. However there are fools in here claiming this fight is on par with GGG vs Canelo and claiming fighting Bellew, is daring to be great.

    It is a warm up fight. This is on par with the Berrera fight except this will have more gloss and shine to cover the fact there is excrement at it's core

    Bellew is a waste of time for Ward. Let Bellew do his thing against the Whyte, Chisora, or Haye's of the island.

    Bellew only does pointless fights now. The gall to put stuff like this on PPV...

    In any case, Ward wins. Bellew's punches are far too slow and telegraphed to get within a mile of Ward's chin.

    Ward is going after Stevenson leftovers. Ward is ducking Stevenson.

    You're a funny guy. I like Stevenson, but he needs to stop going after Joe Smith Jr's leftovers before you make statements like this lol.

    Bellew does nothing better then Ward... Maybe his chin is on par?? This will be an easy moneygrab for Ward and who can blame him for gping that route...

    Let's not overreact.

    Ward vs Bellew is a decent fight, good opponent to test out the waters at a higher weight. Ward is smart, he'll be about a 1/2 favourite for this one. I'd prefer he fought Beterbiev / Gvozdyk / Bivol, however one can't criticize this move at all. Winning improves Ward's legacy, but not by as much as staying to clean out 175lb would have done, or beating someone like Usyk or Gassiev.

    However, neither is it on the level of GGG vs Canelo. Both GGG and Canelo are p4p-level fighters; Bellew is not.

    I agree, I'm not high on this at all, people give Stevenson so much **** but Ward
    is a boss for going up to face someone Stevenson bobble headed?! I'm a fan of
    Ward but this doesn't interest me, if he wants a CW, pick on one of the real
    beasts of the division. Or better yet, Fight Stevenson at LHW or Beterbiev.

    You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. Quit responding to people's comments and respond to the fight alone, because responding to both has you contradicting yourself. Let's call this fight what it is: a cherry pick that's actually not bad but also could lead to bigger things.
